Troubleshooting
---------------
If you find that the DeDRM plugin is not working for you (imported ebooks still
have DRM - that is, they won't convert or open in the calibre ebook viewer), you
should make a log of the import process by deleting the DRMed ebook from calibre

A log will appear that you can copy and paste into a comment at Apprentice Alf's
blog, http://apprenticealf.wordpress.com/ or an issue at Apprentice Harper's
repository, https://github.com/apprenticeharper/DeDRM_tools/issues . You should
also give details of your computer, and how you obtained the ebook file.
